How about foil-wrapped chocolates that look like bells
or Christmas ornaments, or chocolate coins (gelt?)

Dear PUBYACers,
I am working on putting together two YA reading lists.
1) books written in journal/diary form (fiction or non-fiction)
with YA appeal
2) YA books with rebellious teenage characters
If you have suggestions for either list please
e-mail me at armille2@alexia.lis.uiuc.edu.
I'll post the URL of the completed lists to PUBYAC
later, if you're interested.
Thanks,
- Amanda Miller

Subject: teen "takeover" movies
Date: Mon, 6 Nov 2000 18:38:00 CST
Colleagues:
I'm on a quest for films (feature, independents, shorts, etc) in which young
people "take over" or "control" a place, even for a brief
time. In THE
BREAKFAST CLUB [John Hughes, 1985], for instance, Saturday detention
students
"take over" their high school library. In DEAD POETS SOCIETY
[Peter Weir,
1989]
high school boys "take over" a cave. I've checked what reference
books I
could,
but my category does not match up with indexers or reviewers. Thanks in
advance
for any help.

Hello Shannon - I use "Paper Stories" by Jean Stangl a lot. There are
31
stories and poems in the book along with patterns and easy instructions.

Date: Mon, 6 Nov 2000 18:44:31 CST
Our staff is stumped:
Patron is looking for a book that is at least 15 years old. It's about an
old lady who lives with a cat and every day, something goes off or makes
noise in her house, like the teakettle steaming, cat meowing, etc. It bugs
the neighbors. One day, the old lady doesn't get out of bed to tend to
these things, and the neighbors all gather 'round and wonder what has
happened to her. Patron doesn't really know what happens in the end.
The
name Maxine might be in the book.
Help! and thank you very much.

Hi all,
We have a customer who is looking for a young adult or middle school
story about a teen who runs away from home and goes to an island she
thinks was called Duck Island. She was sure the book was written by a
man and is probably 10 to 15 years old. It is a story of survival because
her boat is destroyed and she is stranded with winter coming on. We
have checked the usual places--novelist, Amazon, BIP, with no luck. Can
anyone out there help us.
Thanks,

Paul Gallico wrote a story about a pet capybara around the late 1960's. =
Does anyone remember it?
I checked amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com, and the Cleveland Public =
LIbrary catalog (Clevenet), which includes the holdings of about 30 =
different library systems.

In response to the many request I've had for this poem to use with the =
'Pocket storytime," here it is. I have tripped over it in all sorts
of =
collections since I got it from someone on this list.
KEEP A POEM IN YOUR POCKET
Keep a poem in your pocket
and a picture in your head
and you'll never feel lonely
at night when you're in bed.
The little poem will sing to you
the little picture bring to you
a dozen dreams to dance to you
at night when you're in bed.
So...
Keep a picture in you pocket
and a poem in your head
and you'll never feel lonely
at night when you're in bed.

OOOOPS!!! I was seeing at-risk and thinking teens. I still think
that
using an involving chapter book is a good idea, but the titles I chose are
completely wrong. My deepest apologies, and I'm embarrassed by my own lack
of attention to detail.

A customer remembers a picture book about a little girl called Clare who has
a bad day, hurts her knee and meets a monkey or a gorilla and then her mum
comes.
We have used A-Zoo for monkeys and gorilla with no luck.
Please respond directly to the e-mail address below. Thanks

Hello all,
A friend once lent me a picture book which told the
story of a little boy whose Montreal Canadiennes
hockey shirt had gotten worn out or lost or something
and his mom ordered a new one. Much to the boy's
horror, what arrived was a Toronto Maple Leafs shirt.
The boy's mother (foolishly believing that all hockey
shirts are the same!) makes him wear it to the rink
and he is extremely embarassed. Sound familiar to
anyone?
Reply off list and I shall post the answer, if any.
